Company
name availability check for the state you select
We’ll find out for you whether your company’s name is available in your state. If it’s not, we’ll let you know so you can come up with alternative names until we find one that works for you and will be allowed in your state.
Incorporation Service
We’ll handle the sometimes complex details of incorporating your business fast and without hassles. Incorporating and filing for LLCs (Limited Liability Company) at your state agency is our core business.
We guarantee accuracy and compliance with your state’s business code. The cost of filing with the Secretary of State is included in our service so you can have your business up and running quickly.

1 Year of Registered Agent services
Active Filings provides Registered Agent Services in every state for a year without extra charge. That allows you to concentrate on your business, not paperwork.
A registered agent is a company designated to receive legal notices, services of process, and other documents delivered to the corporation. Services of process---important legal documents---are sent to you through FedEx overnight delivery.
EIN - Tax ID Number
We will obtain your company’s Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. Corporations and LLCs need an EIN for tax purposes. Also known as the Tax ID, banks require EINs from a corporation or LLC to open a bank account.
S Corporation, Form Preparation
The term "S" corporation refers to the way in which a general or "C" corporation is taxed. An "S" corporation is a "pass through" entity, meaning that the corporation itself is not taxed, only the shareholders. Instead, shareholders report a proportion of the annual profit or loss of the "S" corporation on their personal tax return. If you want to become an "S" Corporation you must select this service within about two and a half months of incorporating.
Action of the Sole Incorporator
This is a resolution issued by the Incorporator appointing the initial directors of the company (or members of a Limited Liability Company) when they have not been listed at the articles of incorporation.
The Action of the Sole Incorporator empowers directors or members to act on behalf of the company.
Publishing Instructions
Some states require new entities to publish a notice of incorporation in one or more newspapers. We’ll provide you with instructions about how to fulfill that requirement at no extra charge.
States with publishing requirements are: Arizona, Georgia (corporations only), Nebraska, New York (LLC only), and Pennsylvania (corporations only).
